lennavan:No, subby I did not notice that because I saw Romney take notes many times. But even if the way you totally imagined the debate went were true, I fail to see how a handkerchief explains it.

Holy farking shiat you all need to drop this line of derp you're seriously as stupid as the far right derp right now.

They are being told Obama lost. Apparently this bothers them because they can't think for themselves, or realize that there is another debate on the 11th that will cause people to give even less of a fark about any of this than they already did.

ManateeGag:Via Infinito: Quasar: Is this like how Bush (or was it McCain) must have had an earpiece?

No this is more straight forward. He clearly took paper out of his pocket and put it on the podium.

There's another video that shows him going back to the podium later and collecting all his papers before he leaves.Not that it's particularly suspicious, but we can't leave our crib notes on the podium, now can we?

that's far from conclusive. the paper he picked up at the end looked a lot larger then what he pulled out in the beginning.

Why would Romney put a handkerchief on the podium? Why not just keep it in his pocket? Is he expecting some sort of snot-emergency wherein he'll need to save time?

Holy fark who cares why he put it on a podium versus kept it in his pocket. Do you? Are you seriously concerned about the location of Mitt Romney's handkerchief?

You don't think it's seriously weird that Romney put a handkerchief on the podium before the debate? Who does that?

You gotta love the left's flailing around trying to figure out why Fartbongo got his ass kicked. It's simple. He hasn't had to face anybody tough in years. He got soft, he lost his edge. He became complacent. He's been told he's the greatest thing for so long that he began to believe that he was the best there is. And then holy shiat what the hell is this a tough SOB?

It reminded me of the pigs from Demolition Man: "We're police officers! We're not trained to handle this kind of violence! "

Maybe next time he'll prep for the debate. I'm not sure why though, anybody who's not faking it at their job can talk shop at the drop of a hat.

Romney WAS taking notes during the debate. Either that or he was jerking off. I remember seeingthe mic on the podium jiggling quite a bit.

I'm betting it was note taking, though because if he was jerking off then BO would have had to whipHIS out and the damn podium would have fallen over (you know, because black men...somethingsomething penis size).

In all seriousness (sorta?) though, he CLEARLY put something on the podium but nobody knows ifit was pre-written notes or not. Maybe the man is just more comfortable reading off of note cardsthan a piece of paper so that's what he took his notes on.

My oldest son is the same way. Give him something on a piece of paper to read and its painful tolisten to. Put them on note cards though and he turns into a GOT damn orator. Maybe having thecards in his hand to shuffle through relaxes him or something...I don't know.

According to the article on Buzzfeed, there is video of him picking up the same object later in the debate to dab his forehead so it's a hanky, but I couldn't get the clip they had posted (which is about a minute long compared to the 22 second clip I did see) to play. Anyone else seen it?

Cue "Romney released the tape to make us talk about him winning the debate instead of the jobs report!" in 5, 4, 3, 2...

This may seem like a silly question, but why is it against the rules to bring notes? Granted, you don't want the whole debate to turn into a stump speech. But, you do want to keep your facts straight to counter certain arguments. (Or, in the case of RMoney, his bald-faced lies.)

Saw the video, and having cheated a few times myself, I would never be so obvious about it. Honestly, that could have been a small bible or book of mormon put there for luck. I do wonder, why is it that no one during the debate called this out? Why did no one ask what that was? Is it possible that Romney showed everyone what it was before placing it on the podium?
